What E5
actually means.
E5 on the FCIND is a temperature sensor failure on the zone showing it. ZLINE treats it like the F-codes: reset the breaker once, and if it stays, the sensor needs a technician.

What to do when E5 shows on the cooktopKind of codeTemperature and overheat sensors
A sensor under the glass or on a board reported a reading the control rejected, or heat climbing past the safe limit — often after an empty pan was left on a zone. The zone is allowed to cool and a loose sensor plug is ruled out before the sensor, the coil assembly or the board is blamed. A top that keeps getting hotter is switched off at the breaker first.
Usually leads toInduction board and coil repair
Induction zones that stop sensing pans, cut out, buzz or show codes, traced to the power boards, the coils, their sensors and the links to the controls.
Shows up asCooktop Element Not Heating
A coil stays black, a radiant ring under the glass never glows, or a zone warms so weakly that a pot of water will not boil.

Still there?
It usually turns into induction board and coil repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
E5 is not an overheating message. It means the cooktop cannot trust a temperature reading at all.
